[QUOTE="healinginside, post: 762717, member: 29962"] Yogilori, My heart goes out to you….you are being incredibly strong and, even though it goes against your maternal nature, are doing everything that you should be doing. When our children hurt, moms feel physical pain. You are also dealing with grief right now- your hopes and dreams for your son are on hold and they aren’t going to look like you imagined for him right now. I know how you feel as I am experiencing the same thing with my son. And, I’m frustrated bc he has the ability. Then when he is sober, he acts like his normal self and i want to help him and protect him. So many people have given my son a lifeline and he just keeps his entitlement attitude and seems to not be able to see into the future. And then the moms suffer - mentally and physically. His actions are not your fault. I tell myself that my son is letting himself drown he’s pulling me under with him and I cant let myself be pulled under with him. I know how you feel when you say that you feel like you can’t live life and be happy when this is happening. We only have one life and we can’t continue putting our lives on hold until they stop their madness. Time will run out for us.
